Coming soon!

I PROMISE to share more pictures of Greenie and Slimetta (as I submit their book to publishers!) I’ll also share magical scenes of Kenya and Tanzania as I prepare for two events. This coming Saturday, October 25th, I’ll be at the School of Environmental Studies – the Zoo School – for their 30th anniversary celebration ! I’ll have a table with my books and cards (and maybe calendars?) from 1 to 4 pm . Then I’ll be busy framing new photos for my November-December exhibit at Burnhaven Library.

But today’s topic has to be Marching with Millions

I am compelled to share just a few of the many photos I took at June’s No Kings Rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, part of about five million peaceful protestors nationwide. Last Saturday’s protestors numbered over seven million! I was tempted to go to feel that uplifting comraderie again, but opted to go through the pictures I already have and share some. Sadly, the signs are still relevant, and the injustices have grown. But so has the awareness of the outrageous threats to our democracy and our freedoms, not to mention our mental and emotional health! Please feel free to share this with people who agree. But also consider sharing with those who might be realizing that they have been lied to and disrespected enough and want to be on the right side of history and the compassionate side of humanity. Or just want an economy that works for everyone.

If you still doubt that he’s mad, check out the AI generated video he created in response to the millions of Americans bravely marching and speaking truth to power. Or J.D. Vance’s response to disgusting and ultra-racist comments by “Young” Republicans. Warning – they are shockingly offensive. But hopefully, motivating. Then, to bring hope back to your heart, listen to Claudia Schmidt’s new song, Indivisible.
